Strange problem in a tileindex of shape files

[Steve Lime]

First thing I would check would be make sure that the structure of the shapefile attribute tables are identical- same number of items, same order, same names. Without that you can see very strange problems crop up.

Sometimes technology is very odd! could someone give me a hint to
discover my error?

I did a tileindex (using ogrtindex) of several shp files with the same
fields in dbf.
All works well, here the map:
LAYER
	NAME "incendi2002"
	STATUS ON
	TILEINDEX "/var/www/pmapper/comalo/incendi/incendi2002.shp"
	TILEITEM "Location"
	TYPE POLYGON
	TRANSPARENCY 60
	METADATA
		"DESCRIPTION"   "Incendi 2002|Incendi 2002|Incendi 2002"
		"RESULT_FIELDS"
"COMUNE,STZ_FOREST,INCEND2002,M_LGN_DIST,SUP_TOT_HA,SUP_BOS_HA,SUP_NOBOS"
		"RESULT_HEADERS" "Comune,Stazione forestale,N° incendi,???,Superfice
(ha),Sup boscosa (ha),Sup non boscosa (ha)|Comune,Stazione
forestale,N° incendi,???,Superfice (ha),Sup boscosa (ha),Sup non
boscosa (ha)|Comune,Stazione forestale,N° incendi,???,Superfice
(ha),Sup boscosa (ha),Sup non boscosa (ha)"
	END
	LABELITEM "COMUNE"
	CLASS
		NAME "1 incendio nel 2002|1 incendio nel 2002|1 incendio nel 2002"
		EXPRESSION ([INCEND2002] = 1)
		COLOR 255 225 225
		LABEL
			COLOR 0 0 255
			TYPE TRUETYPE
			FONT arial
			SIZE 10
			ANTIALIAS TRUE
			POSITION CL
			PARTIALS FALSE
			MINDISTANCE 300
			BUFFER 4
		END # end of label
	END
	CLASS
		NAME "2 incendi nel 2002|2 incendi nel 2002|2 incendi nel 2002"
		EXPRESSION ([INCEND2002] = 2)
		COLOR 255 175 175

			TYPE TRUETYPE
			FONT arial
			SIZE 10
			ANTIALIAS TRUE
			POSITION CL
			PARTIALS FALSE
			MINDISTANCE 300

		END # end of label
	END
	CLASS

		EXPRESSION ([INCEND2002] = 3)

		END # end of label
	END	
	CLASS
		NAME "4 incendi nel 2002|4 incendi nel 2002|4 incendi nel 2002"
		EXPRESSION ([INCEND2002] > 3)
		COLOR 255 85 81
		LABEL
			COLOR 0 0 255
			TYPE TRUETYPE
			FONT arial
			SIZE 10
			ANTIALIAS TRUE
			POSITION CL
			PARTIALS FALSE
			MINDISTANCE 300
			BUFFER 4
		END # end of label
	END
END

The strange fact is that when I did the layer in the map, it was
minimal and all worked well also for the query (single and multiple).
When later I developed the map to the shown code the query doesn't
work anymore, or better, it doesn't find any layer there.
I tried to get back step by step to the previous situation but I'm no
more able to obtain a query from this layer.

Could you help me please?

thanks a lot
luca
